Tim Duncan. It felt like you were playing a Russian hockey team when KG and Steph, or KG, Terrell Brandon, Wally Szczerbiak played the Spurs. Need a jersey of the legend.

Nah.

But on that note, I was shooting pull up 25 foot threes on 3-on-1 fast breaks during games in the 90s bro. I was ahead of my time.

Same., except this was like 2000. I have these games on camcorder tapes somewhere for proof lol. Can hear parents gasping and everything at the audacity

Hearing the comments from spectators was actually the best part of watching those things back. “That guy has moves!” /white dad voice

I peaked in 5th grade. I was a Mark Jackson type. Loved dropping a dime my all time favorite thing to do on the court. Didnt play any defense and had absolutely no jumper, but a automatic floater. I was a lefty too i could always get a weird angled shot off below the charge circle in the paint. My favorite go go to move was the right handed dream shake into a soft left handed baby hook coming from the left baseline

Here's why it's always going to be a big man's league.

Eventually, bigs will be able to play just like guards - handling the ball, dishing for assists, shooting threes consistently...while still having the ability to post up and back down smaller defenders or shoot over the top of them. It's already been happening the last decade plus strong.

But guards can never play like bigs cause they just don't have the size and length.

Brilliant move by the clippers tbh

 

[dman14]

We still debating if dray had a better career than Blake?

 

[lynchpin33]

Watched this movie the other day and noticed Shep only made 3 shots and 1 dunk. But they kept showing those 3 shots from various camera angles giving the image he went off in the game.

 

[lynchpin33]

Playing it safe on that Bron vs Luka matchup. KD and Kyrie holding the league on to committing a nba Christmas schedule.

Makes sense.

I think I would rather see Warriors v Clippers though.

Hoping we get Bucks v Celtics in the opening game.

 

[witnesskb24]

I’d hope Jokic doesn’t give up his number for Melo

*shrug*

Had an all-star season in Detroit and basically dragged them into the playoffs and then tried to play hurt when they got there. It was a swift roll downhill after that.

The league gotta stop coddling that 33 win team. Opening night and Christmas?
